Reviews — En Primeurs

Our next 2025 Bordeaux futures release at Symbolic Wines leans hard into the estates that are already shaping the narrative of this five‑star, low‑yield vintage: Smith Haut Lafitte (red and white), Troplong Mondot, Clos Fourtet, Beauséjour Bécot, L’Eglise‑Clinet, Haut‑Brion (rouge and blanc), Vieux Château Certan, Figeac, La Conseillante, La Mondotte, La Violette, Ducru‑Beaucaillou, Pichon Baron, Léoville Las Cases, Château Montrose and the full Château Margaux trio (Grand Vin, Pavillon Rouge, Pavillon Blanc). These are the names the trade and critics are already calling out as reference points, and they are exactly where we believe long‑term collectors and investors should be...

We are opening a new En Primeur offer on a Pauillac that many collectors quietly rely on for classic Cabernet structure and long aging: Château Grand‑Puy‑Lacoste 2025, 5ème Grand Cru Classé. This year it comes in a special, fully black, screen‑printed bottle – an engraved look that makes it a natural “black pearl” in any serious Bordeaux collection.

Our latest 2025 En Primeur allocation brings in both faces of Château Cos d’Estournel—its majestic Saint‑Estèphe Grand Vin and the ultra‑limited Cos d’Estournel Blanc—wines that critics are already placing at the very top of this thrilling Left Bank vintage.

With hundreds of châteaux offering 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur, we chose a deliberately short list of wines that combine world‑class terroir, proven critical pedigree and genuine excitement around this small, high‑quality vintage—so our clients can focus on the bottles that really matter.
